Show BShE FIRST1 The famous carol, "The First Noel" means the first Christmas and this holy anthem goes so far back into history that there is no record as to who wrote or when it was first sung. An old belief is that the shepherds sang the verses to the music of the angels heralding the birth of Christ, but no one knows for sure. The beautiful carol, however, has come to be one of the many important impor-tant things that make Christmas the holy, celebrated season that it is. Weeks before Christmas, from radios, from concert halls and from the throats of carol singers and just plain singers, the strains of the First Noel remind us all that the celebration of the birth of Christ is once more upon us. |
